Where the Data Ranks 2017’s Comic Book Films.

Posted on October 9, 2017 by Brett

2017 feels like it’s shaping up to be a wild ride for comic adaptions. We look at who the real winners and losers are for this year’s comic films.

This past week has been pretty quiet when it comes to comic adaptations. The latest film to debut, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, has been mixed as it’s running behind the previous film’s domestic run and ahead of its foreign run. So… a wash? It also keeps up the trend of the foreign box office saving this year’s movie industry.

Spider-Man: Homecoming continues to get a late boost and is the top grossing comic adaptation of the year passing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and then some. The film has crossed $700 million when it comes to its budget and worldwide earnings and has a 5x multiplier. The big question is if it’ll cross $900 million at the box office.

Wonder Woman continues to impress as it winds down its run. It’s still the highest earning domestic earner for a comic film this year so far. It has a 5.51x multiplier of its budget and earnings.

Atomic Blonde will fall short of $100 million and will be a moderate success.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is slowing down and will likely end around $225 million as long as there’s no more debuts.

Lets compare how the big two comic companies compare for earnings. On average DC films earn $339.7 million domestically while Marvel earns $308.3 million. Internationally, Marvel rules with $476.9 million and DC lags behind with $437.3 million. There’s still work for DC when it comes to the international film market.

Already, the year is an interesting one with three clear successes and a whole lot of mixed otherwise. Wonder Woman, Logan, Spider-Man: Homecomning, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 have done well this year. The LEGO Batman Movie and Smurfs: The Lost Village, and Atomic Blonde are in that debatable area, and Valerian, Wilson and Ghost in the Shell are generally disappointments. We’ll see about Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Marvel’s Inhumans… got no clue and tough to debate since it’s a television show primarily with a limited film engagement.

Here’s where this year’s comic films stand as far as the actual numbers. With a new film opening the averages have dipped.

Total Domestic Gross: $1.797 billion
Total International Gross: $2.639 billion
Worldwide Gross: $4.435 billion
Total Reported Budgets: $1.187 million
Total “Profit”: $3.245 billion

Average Domestic Gross: $149.7 million
Average International Gross: $239.9 million
Average: Worldwide Gross: $369.6 million
Average Budget: $107.9 million
Average Profit: $261.7 million

TV Review: Marvel’s Inhumans S1E1 Behold… the Inhumans; Those Who Would Destroy Us

Posted on September 30, 2017 by Brett

The royal family — stranded in Hawaii after a military coup — faces internal strife, which they must overcome in order to return home before their way of life is destroyed forever.

After months of bad word of mouth, Marvel’s Inhumans made its television debut introducing us to a new facet of the Marvel live action universe. Going in to it, I was expecting a disaster, and after watching the first two episodes, the show doesn’t feel like one, instead it’s more like a middle grade episode of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

I could spend articles saying what the show should be, the easiest being something that plays off of the groundwork its sister show has laid out, but instead I’m going to do my best to focus on what it is.

Marvel’s Inhumans sees itself as a familial epic akin to Game of Thrones and you can see that show’s influence but so much is missing. Acting, special fx, pacing, all fall far behind that show. Lets start with acting.

It’s hard to debate if it’s the writing, the actors, the direction, or some combination of it all, but it feels like everyone is stiff and overall the acting and delivery is lifeless. No matter the actor, no matter the role, it all is so boring and not engaging (I seriously can’t think of one actor that stands out right now). This was one of the “silliest” concepts being taken way too seriously and that led to a drab two hours that dragged on. That drag was some of the series’ two episode’s biggest issues. What took an hour felt like it could have been done in a half hour. Up the pacing and that acting wouldn’t have been as much of an issue.

The special fx has been one of the biggest topics of the show and I can imagine on an IMAX screen how every minute detail would look horrible. On a television screen, it looks comparable to its sister show. Not good, not bad, just a bit mixed. It’s clear there were budgetary and time issues when it came to this and I can only think this led to the choice of shaving Medusa’s head.

My final gripe of the series is that the characters are generally unlikable. Beyond his rather rapey overtones, Maximus is actually right in what he says. There’s a caste system and the ruling class seems to have little regard for the lowest caste. Maximus isn’t wrong in his ideas, though similar to Fidel Castro, you know his just revolution against the corrupt/aloof ruling class will only lead to a corrupted vision.

The two hours first two episodes isn’t bad at all, it’s also not all that great. The series feels rushed, not well thought out and misses every opportunity to do things interesting (why ignore S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s Inhuman set up!?). The show is bland and part of that is that we’ve seen everything presented and have seen it done better elsewhere. The biggest thing missing from Jack Kirby’s creations are imagination.

Overall Rating: 6.0

Where the Data Ranks 2017’s Comic Book Films. Kingsman Debuts at #1.

Posted on September 25, 2017 by Brett

2017 feels like it’s shaping up to be a wild ride for comic adaptions. We look at who the real winners and losers are for this year’s comic films.

A new comic adaptation has hit theaters this past weekend as Kingsman: The Golden Circle debuted with an impressive $39 million domestically which increases on the original film’s debut. Worldwide, the film has already earned $100.2 million on a $104 million budget.

Spider-Man: Homecoming continues to get a late boost and is now the top grossing comic adaptation of the year passing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and then some. Where I had the film as debatable, the late boost at the foreign box office has put the film in the win column for the year.

Wonder Woman continues to impress as it winds down its run. It’s still the highest earning domestic earner for a comic film this year so far.

Atomic Blonde is approaching $100 million and will be a moderate success.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is making a comeback and has finally crossed the threshold so that its worldwide total is greater than its budget. Still not good, but also not a disaster of Titanic proportion.

Lets compare how the big two comic companies compare for earnings. On average DC films earn $339.5 million domestically while Marvel earns $308.3 million. Internationally, Marvel rules with $476.9 million and DC lags behind with $437.1 million. There’s still work for DC when it comes to the international film market.

Already, the year is an interesting one with three clear successes and a whole lot of mixed otherwise.

Marvel’s Inhumans… got no clue and tough to debate since it’s a television show primarily with a limited film engagement.

Here’s where this year’s comic films stand as far as the actual numbers. With a new film opening the averages have dipped.

Atomic Blonde is approaching $100 million and will be a moderate success.

Posted on September 11, 2017 by Brett

2017 feels like it’s shaping up to be a wild ride for comic adaptions. We look at who the real winners and losers are for this year’s comic films.

Where the Data Ranks 2017’s Comic Book Films. Inhumans Debuts at IMAX.

Posted on September 4, 2017 by Brett

2017 feels like it’s shaping up to be a wild ride for comic adaptions. We look at who the real winners and losers are for this year’s comic films.

Marvel’s Inhumans debuted this past weekend earning $1.5 million domestically and $1.1 million internationally. This is a tough one to include, but I’m going to, as it’s a hybrid television show and movie produced by IMAX, Marvel, and ABC. It’ll be included in the totals for now even though there’s no budget to figure everything out. That may change in the future and be treated like other special releases from previous years.

The big news is that Wonder Woman continues to impress passing $400 million at the foreign box office. The movie is the top earning movie domestically for DC’s movie universe by a solid $78 million (and counting). The film however is third internationally behind both Batman vs Superman and Suicide Squad and likely won’t pass either. It’s the second highest earning DC movie worldwide. Wonder Woman is also the top earning comic film domestically for the year so far.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is at $324.1 million domestically, and with its $422.1 million, the film has earned $746.2 million worldwide. The film has now passed Suicide Squad worldwide. While the film has done better than average domestically for a Spider-Man film it lags internationally.

Atomic Blonde is at $89.8 million worldwide. The film has a 2.99 multiplier which is not bad, especially for a rough year at the box office.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is at $863.1 million worldwide. It’ll settle around $864 million before it’s done in the next few weeks.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is making a comeback and stands at $172.8 million on a $177.2 million budget. The film is almost even with its budget which isn’t good, but it’s not the world class disaster it looked like, just a disaster.

Lets compare how the big two comic companies compare for earnings. On average DC films earn $338.9 million domestically while Marvel earns $308.3 million. Internationally, Marvel rules with $476.9 million and DC lags behind with $436.0 million. There’s still work for DC when it comes to the international film market.

Already, the year is an interesting one with three clear successes and a whole lot of mixed otherwise. Wonder Woman, Logan and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 have done well this year, The LEGO Batman Movie and Smurfs: The Lost Village, Spider-Man: Homecoming and Atomic Blonde are in that debatable area, and Valerian, Wilson and Ghost in the Shell are generally disappointments. Marvel’s Inhumans… got no clue.

Here’s where this year’s comic films stand as far as the actual numbers:

Total Domestic Gross: $1.703 billion
Total International Gross: $2.280 billion
Worldwide Gross: $3.982 billion
Total Reported Budgets: $1.083 million

The Hitman’s Bodyguard Wins the Worst Labor Day Weekend in 17 Years

Posted on September 4, 2017 by Brett

It was another bad weekend at the box office but The Hitman’s Bodyguard won it again in the worst Labor Day three day weekend in 17 years. The top twelve films grossed $51.5 million and you have to go back to 2000 to get a worst weekend. That weekend grossed $47 million.

The Hitman’s Bodyguard did a three-peat earning an estimated $10.25 million to bring its total to $54.9 million on a $30 million budget.

Annabelle: Creation held the number two spot again earning an estimated $7.3 million to bring its domestic total to $89.0 million and worldwide is $253.4 million. That’s impressive for a $15 million budget.

In third place was Wind River which added $5.8 million to its domestic total. That film switched spots with Leap! which dropped to fourth adding $4.9 million to its total.

Rounding out the top five was Logan Lucky which holds that position adding $4.4 million to its domestic total bringing it to $21.5 million and $24.6 million worldwide on a $29 million budget.

When it comes to comic adaptations…

Spider-Man: Homecoming remained at #7 adding $3.7 million to its domestic total to bring it to $324.1 million. With its $422.1 million at the foreign box office the film sits at $746.2 million.

Wonder Woman improved some spots moving from #15 to #12 adding $1.9 million to its domestic total. The film has earned $408.9 million domestically and $403.7 million at the foreign box office for a total of $812.6 million total.

Inhumans is one I’ll add to the list coming in at #18 with $1.5 million. The “film” is a hybrid movie/television show between Marvel, ABC, and IMAX. It’s an IMAX only “film” limiting its reach and money in. It also brought in $1.1 million from 274 international runs in 65 markets with Germany, Italy, and South Korea still to come.

Atomic Blonde came in #26 with $887,145 to its domestic total. The domestic total is $50.4 million and $89.8 million worldwide. Not bad for a $30 million budget.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 added $210,000 to its domestic total. Domestically the film has earned $389.6 million and a worldwide total of $863 million to be the top comic adaptation of the year worldwide so far.

We’ll be back in an hour with even more of a look at this year’s comic adaptations.
